After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

"The smell of radishes and green peppers is really strong. It seems I can pick some to take home and use as ingredients."

"hiss!"

"Hoo...hmm?"

In the Polaris Fruit and Vegetable Garden, where the aroma of fruits and vegetables filled the air, a faint, peculiar scent caught Lu Xuanyu's attention.

This is the aroma of Chinese medicine, a blend of hundreds of herbs!

No Chinese medicinal herbs are grown in the Jixingliao vegetable garden!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"At night and during the day."

"Are there so many people secretly coming to see me?"

"So busy!"

Lu Xuanyu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

His gaze drifted to the dense, towering green vegetable patch behind him.

.......

23. Despite Erina's warnings, Hisako secretly followed them! [Seeking flowers and ratings!]

Behind the lush green vegetable trellis.

A girl with short, pinkish-purple hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue top and a plaid pleated skirt.

I was carefully hiding behind the vegetable shelf, occasionally peeking through the gaps to look ahead.

Hisako Shinto!

Born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, she is a chef skilled in medicinal cuisine and Erina Nakiri's childhood-old personal secretary.

Why should I hide?

"It's just asking a question; you could have just walked over!"

Hisako Niito nervously asked herself this question.

Why is she here?

It all started with the conversation we had last night at the Nakiri family villa.

……

last night.

"Sixteen areas for improvement?"

"What a joke!"

"Lady Erina, Lu Xuanyu must be pretending to be mysterious and talking nonsense!"

"Never trust him; he's definitely up to no good!"

Hisako Shinoto listened to Erina Nakiri recount her meeting with Lu Xuanyu at the opening ceremony.

He directly refuted Lu Xuanyu's statement, feeling quite unconvinced.

Medicinal cuisine is her proudest specialty!

Within Totsuki Culinary Academy, if anyone dares to claim they can surpass Hisako Shinoto in the field of medicinal cuisine, she would certainly disagree.

She could accept it if it were just a few flaws or areas that could be improved.

Sixteen places?

What a joke!

Isn't this saying that your cooking is completely worthless?

"Hisako... Do you think anyone else at Totsuki Academy besides me possesses the God Tongue?"

Instead of continuing directly, Erina Nakiri asked Hisako Shinoto a question.

"Besides Lady Erina and Lady Erina's mother, Ms. Nakiri Managi."

"I've never heard of anyone in the culinary world who possesses such amazing talent."

"If it really existed, it would definitely cause a sensation in the culinary world, right?"

"Lady Erina, you're asking this all of a sudden, could it be that you want to say something..."

"Lu Xuanyu... he possesses the Divine Tongue, just like you?!"

"Impossible? Absolutely not!"

It was because she grew up by Erina Nakiri's side that Hisako Shinoto understood even more how terrifying and how amazing the God Tongue was.

If Lu Xuanyu truly possessed it... would he have kept it low-key for so long, until he entered high school?

"My initial reaction was the same as yours, Hisako."

"Later, Lu Xuanyu pointed out the direction for improving the ingredients of the Seven Treasures Cake."

"Six of them were exactly the same as what I thought after eating them."

"There's another place... that even I didn't expect."

"It wasn't until he finished speaking that I realized it was a detail I hadn't noticed!"

"He also said...he also said..."

By the end, Erina Nakiri's face was flushed and sweat beaded on her forehead.

Whenever she thinks about what happened in the rest area, she feels involuntarily tense.

Not only do they have the same talent, but they are also told that they have only mastered the "lowest level of the divine realm"!

One detail she missed, and nine flaws that Lu Xuanyu never mentioned.

This dealt a heavy blow to the self-confidence that Erina Nakiri had built up since childhood!

The more extremely proud a person is, the more likely they are to lose.

After experiencing a defeat that surpasses even her own, she will appear even more vulnerable.

Subsequently.

Erina Nakiri repeated Lu Xuanyu's sarcastic remarks to her.

They added that she should stop eating Bazhen Gao (Eight Treasures Cake) because continuing to eat it might harm her.

Hisako Shirato and Erina Nakiri had very similar reactions at the time.

A single flaw in the ingredients is not enough to explain the problem.

It accurately replicated Erina-sama's flawed judgment of "God's Tongue".

In addition, one point was added, and nine "unmentioned flaws" were retained.

Who else but the possessor of the God Tongue could do that?

finally.

Erina Nakiri summarized one point:

Lu Xuanyu is an extremely dangerous person!

Violent, eccentric, and completely out of control, he also possesses an unknown and terrifying culinary talent.

Previously, Erina Nakiri had planned to challenge Lu Xuanyu and reclaim her position as the top student in her first year of high school.

Right now, I'm just trying to minimize contact with him and avoid dangerous people like him.

Despite Erina Nakiri's reminder, he still couldn't stop Hisako Shinoto.

Why can't we continue to let Lady Erina eat Eight Treasures Cake?

This is a medicinal diet specially modified and made by Hisako Shinto to help Erina-sama recover during her "those days"!

Why do you say that continuing to eat will harm Lady Erina?

If someone casually says something, Hisako Akito probably won't care, or even take it seriously.

They just felt that the other party was an amateur and didn't understand the essence of medicinal cuisine at all.

Lu Xuanyu was a peer whose talent was terrifying, even to Erina Nakiri!

His words were deeply imprinted in Hisako Shinodo's heart!

They were able to accurately determine that Lady Erina was on her "those days" based on the Eight Treasures Cake.

This indicates that he possesses a solid foundation in pharmacology.

If we don't get a clear answer, we won't be able to prepare other medicinal food for Lady Erina in the future.

Hisako Niito hesitates and doesn't know where to start.

This is why Hisako Shinto appeared at the Polar Star Dormitory.

She was also eager to see just how terrifying Lu Xuanyu really was.
